  When she promotes the disc with a concert tour will she be in costume from the cd cover?

  I thought that the bald Cecilia cover was one of La Cieca’s gags. Now that I know that it is real, I thinks that it is totally bizarre. What next?

    “La montagne accouchera-t-elle d’une (chauve-)souris ?” is pretty rich too.

  If this is her album cover this is great! Finally someone doing something outside of the box. It’s interesting, mysterious and new. I can’t stand seeing the same old album covers the rest of these singers put out. Brava Bartoli!

  The answer to the mystery is that this recording contains obscure arias sung with the microphone up her left nostril and lots of tricky, breathy phrasing, aspirated coloratura and thin, squeezed high notes.

      Nadj already did the bald head thing in the Decker production of Die Tote Stadt. It was the most artistically valid aspect of her performance.

  Let’s see:
  Accuracy of pitch, Check.
  Trills for miles. Check.
  Distinctive timbre. Check.
  Insatiable quest of new rep. Check.
  Marketing savvy. Check.
  Uncanny resemblance to Elisabeth Rethberg. Ah hah !

  The brazen hussy. How dare she!
